Noforgot - Forgetfulness Tracker
Noforgot is a small tracker for the things you keep forgetting: your keys, an umbrella, a lunch box, a weekly report, a daily tablet. You add each item once, and every time it comes up you tap either Forgot or Remembered. Over a few weeks those taps turn into a clear picture of what actually slips your mind and how often.
It is meant for people who feel they are "always forgetting something" but are not sure what. Writing it down makes the pattern visible, and seeing the Remembered count grow is a quiet reward for the habits you build. The web version runs in your browser with no sign-up, and everything you record stays on your own device.
The app runs entirely in your browser. What you enter is saved only on this device.
How to use Noforgot
- Add an item. Tap the + button, type what you tend to forget (for example "House keys"), pick a category such as Work, Study, Shopping, Housework, Health or Other, add an optional memo and tap Save.
- Record what happened. Each card has a red Forgot button and a green Remembered button. Tap the one that matches what just happened; the counters and the item's forget rate update immediately.
- Filter by category. Use the category chips at the top of the home screen to show only one area of life, or All to see every item.
- Edit or delete. Tap a card to change its name, category or memo. Use the trash icon on the card to delete it after confirming.
- Check your statistics. Open the Statistics tab to see a pie chart of Forgot versus Remembered, the forget count and rate for each category, and the top 10 items you forget most.
- Share your progress. On the Statistics screen, use the share menu to send a short text summary of your counts and forget rate.

Why we forget everyday things, and how tracking helps
Most everyday forgetting is about attention, not memory
Leaving the house without your keys rarely means your memory is failing. Usually the information was never firmly stored in the first place: you put the keys down while thinking about something else, so there was no clear moment to remember. Psychologists call the related problem of remembering to do something later "prospective memory" - remembering to take the tablet at dinner or to bring the form to work tomorrow. It depends heavily on cues in the moment, and busy or tired people miss those cues more often.
That is why the same few items tend to cause most of the trouble. The things you forget are often the things that move around, that are only needed on some days, or that you handle while distracted.
Counting makes the pattern visible
Vague feelings like "I forget everything" are hard to act on. A simple tally is not. After two or three weeks of tapping Forgot and Remembered you usually find that a handful of items account for most misses, and that one area - say, things for work or things for the gym - is clearly worse than the rest. Recording the times you remembered matters too: it shows whether a new habit is working and keeps the exercise from feeling like a list of failures.
Practical fixes that work for many people
Give each frequently forgotten object one fixed home, such as a hook or a bowl by the door, and always put it back there. Use a short exit check - many people say "phone, keys, wallet" out loud before leaving. Tie a task to an existing routine: put the tablet next to the kettle, or the gym bag in front of the door the night before. When you must remember something later, try an "if-then" plan: "If I sit down at my desk, then I send the report." Writing a note where you will see it at the right moment is often more effective than trying harder to remember.
Change one thing at a time and keep tracking. If the forget rate for that item drops over the next few weeks, the fix is working; if not, try a different cue.
When to talk to someone
Occasional forgetfulness is normal, especially with stress, poor sleep or a heavy workload. If memory problems are new, getting worse, affect your safety or worry the people around you, talk to a doctor. This app is a habit tool and does not assess memory health.
Frequently asked questions
Where is my data stored?
Only in this browser on this device, in its local storage (IndexedDB). There is no account and nothing is uploaded. Clearing your browser data or using a private window will remove your items, and they do not sync to other browsers or devices.
How is the web version different from the phone app?
The iPhone and Android apps add per-item reminder notifications (daily, weekly or monthly at a set time) and can share a screenshot of the statistics. The web version keeps the tracking, categories and charts but does not send reminders, because a web page cannot reliably notify you while it is closed.
How is the forget rate calculated?
It is the number of Forgot taps divided by the total of Forgot and Remembered taps, shown as a percentage. An item you forgot 2 times and remembered 6 times has a forget rate of 25%.
Can I undo a tap?
There is no undo button. Counters only go up, so if you tap the wrong button the item's numbers stay one higher. If accuracy matters, delete the item and add it again.
Can I create my own categories?
The web version uses six built-in categories: Work, Study, Shopping, Housework, Health and Other. Use the memo field for extra detail.
Can I change the language?
The app follows your browser language when it is supported. You can also add ?lang=ja, ?lang=en and similar codes to the page address.
Limitations of the web version
- No reminder notifications on the web; the reminder settings from the phone app are hidden
- Statistics can be shared as text only, not as a screenshot image
- Data is not synced between devices or browsers, and clearing browser data deletes it
- Counters cannot be decreased or undone
